Cyber Fraud News : Yesterday, an IT engineer based in Gandhinagar received a video call from a well-known courier company of the country, in which it was said that we have a courier of yours of such weight and height. The one which was sent a few days ago has been stuck. The IT engineer replied that I have not sent any such courier. But after a few minutes, another person from the phone says that there are anti-national things in this courier about which we will have to talk to the Crime Branch based in Mumbai. Along with the link of the Crime Branch. The link opens in Skype and the police officer is sitting in front.
Crime Branch IT Engineer is connected to the office through video call, police staff in uniform talks modernly by saying 'Jai Hind Sir' and shows a robber who knows everything and gives information from the front. It says that since your courier has seditious items, we will arrest you anytime. The nervous IT engineer wanted to know the whole thing. So the police station officer replied in Skype video from the front that whatever transaction has happened in your bank is suspicious. You can have to go to jail anytime for all these transactions. The atmosphere in front was so lively with broken English and police-like manners and female staff that anyone would get nervous. Apart from this, they asked him for all the documents of authenticity. Tell his bank details and Aadhar card from the front. While sending the online papers, this IT engineer was embarrassed for some time by the officers impersonating Mumbai Police.
The police personnel talking face to face asked the engineer to keep a watch on his every activity by keeping the video of his mobile phone on throughout the night. To avoid unnecessary worry for his family, this engineer spent the whole night in a room without saying anything to the policemen appearing on the screen of that script. After so many big talks and threats of arrest, the computer engineer had started suspecting that he might get trapped somewhere. Finally, a family member came out of the video call and told the whole story to a crime branch officer living in Gandhinagar, then he instructed to block the call saying that such calls also come to small children and women. Blocking one call ended the matter. But for this IT engineer, one whole night was very desperate and scary.
According to an IT engineer from Gandhinagar, now cyber fraudsters have become so advanced that a complete duplicate police station has been made in front of them. By repeatedly saying Jai Hind, they created such an atmosphere that they are saying the truth. Till now I have received fifteen such calls but this is the first time I have seen such a fake police station on Skype. Everyone needs to be very careful about this. A common man can get trapped in this very easily. Fortunately, I decided to disconnect the phone call with the crime branch officer and the matter was resolved. But four days ago, Rs 85 lakh was stolen from a woman's account.
